Formerly known a the Lime Lite Club, owned by Willie R. Copeland, the club is infamous for after-hours parties and violence inside the building and near the premises.

Saginaw police detectives in June served Copeland with a notice that the city suspended his business license.

Officials accuse Copeland of serving alcohol without a proper liquor license, preparing and selling food without proper license or inspection, and with housing a greater number of people than may be accommodated safely.

The suspension came days after a June 19 incident involving nonfatal injuries to four victims and two years after the latest homicide linked to the club.

Officials held a several-hour hearing with Copeland and other witnesses on July 20, resulting in 200 to 300 pages of testimony that Ludos later reviewed before reaching his conclusion, he said.

Manager Darnell Earley will review Ludos’ recommendation and decide whether to uphold it. If the revocation is upheld, Copeland would have the right to appeal the decision to a three-person appeals panel.
